The crops had ripened, so Shen Muyu simply drank some porridge and went to harvest them.
In addition to these, Shen Muyu also obtained six extra eggs. Actually, there should have been nine, but the remaining three were already fertilized, so Shen Muyu didn't touch them and planned to let them hatch.
"Dabai, time to get to work." Shen Muyu called Dabai over and also brought it a pair of simple homemade earplugs. After all, it's a dog that can control the switch, so this kind of resource can't be wasted.
Shen Muyu was busy until after 7 p.m. before she finished hulling all the rice seeds. Of course, she also took a nap in between.
However, what puzzled Shen Muyu was that apart from encountering a few rockfalls blocking the road along the way, the organizers didn't cause any other trouble today.
Sensing something was amiss, Shen Muyu peeled the crab meat and opened the area chat channel to check on others.
"I'm speechless. These falling rocks are getting bigger and bigger! I've used all my strength and I still can't pry them up!"
"Hey, take it slow. I tried it out and it's actually safer in this kind of place, since the unstable ones have already fallen down."
"Yeah, take it slow. If it really doesn't work, just try prying it from another spot. Anyway, there are no resource boxes to be found if we keep going forward, it's just a waste of fuel."
"Stop when you need to, but remember to remove the tires. The water has already risen to the road surface. Be careful not to suddenly start the car and the tires will burst and the car will be gone."
"I finally managed to save up some supplies, and I used them all to exchange for these things. I'm fed up. Can you please give me some for free? I'm about to starve."
"Who isn't like that! When there's really nothing left to drink, I wanted to try using a water purifier to clean up some of the acid rain, but the water purifier broke down. I really want to slap myself to death."
"By the way, the profile pictures of those people who went crazy this morning all seem to have gone black."
"Sigh, I guess I couldn't withstand the merman's mental attack. Luckily, I got a pair of special earplugs in the game, otherwise there would probably be one of me inside."
"It still depends on one's physical condition and abilities. I see many people who don't have props and are doing just fine, so you still need to exercise regularly and not ruin your health by staying in the driver's seat all day."
"Yes, I can attest to this myself. Because I exercise regularly, I'm in pretty good physical condition. I withstood those mental attacks even without any props. Right now, I just have a bit of a headache, but it doesn't affect my survival."
"If you don't understand, just ask. How can an old man exercise? I can't even stretch my legs out!"
"Then let's try some weightlifting. There's always a way to overcome difficulties."
"Yes, no one who's survived this long is a fool. They know what's best for themselves, right?"
After seeing these comments, Shen Muyu scrolled back through them and found that some people had started spouting nonsense in the area chat since midnight yesterday.
Some of them claim to be the best in the world, while others are just a bunch of meaningless gibberish that really looks like they've gone insane.
It seems I need to pay more attention to how I use the Guardian Bracelet in the future; these kinds of attacks that are so hard to defend against are really difficult to deal with.
However, considering everyone's situation, the falling rocks are most likely to be today's test, since not everyone has a robotic arm like hers that can move such heavy rocks at will.
While watching and thinking, Shen Muyu had already pounded the crab paste under the axe to a near-complete consistency. She squeezed it into small balls and put them in the refrigerator to freeze, which would make them look better.
"Master, the rain outside has stopped." Xiao A's voice suddenly rang out while Shen Muyu was watching a drama and eating hot pot.
"Oh?" Shen Muyu immediately got up, turned off the sound, and listened carefully. Sure enough, the sound of rain had stopped.
Shen Muyu turned up the lights and then turned on the external surveillance camera.
By this time, the river water had submerged half of the tire, but the faint light from the rain guards shielded it, so it didn't seem to have much of an impact.
"Xiao A, move the car a little further in." Compared to the indistinguishable road surface and water, Shen Muyu still felt that the side of the cliff with the rockfall protection net was safer.
"Yes, Master." Little A immediately carried out Shen Muyu's words.
This time, Shen Muyu didn't put away the surveillance footage. Instead, she shared half of the screen with it. Although Xiao A could monitor the outside world in real time, she felt more at ease watching it herself.
Feeling the temperature drop again, Shen Muyu made another blanket. There was no heater in the car after parking at night, so it was safer to do this to avoid hypothermia.
I guess everyone thinks the same way. Shen Muyu's thick cotton quilts are selling very well in the mall, and Xiao A even restocked them several times.
"Xiao A, if the temperature drops too much, just turn on the car heater." Shen Muyu, who had already crawled into bed, still felt something was off, so she gave him this instruction.
The organizers are unlikely to be so kind as to stop the acid rain; there's definitely something bigger going on.
"Yes, Master." Only after hearing Xiao A's response did Shen Muyu close his eyes and fall asleep peacefully.
Just as she expected, the organizers were not going to let them off easily. After midnight, the temperature dropped by 20 degrees Celsius in just two hours.
Those who lacked supplies and warm clothes, as well as those with weak constitutions, succumbed to hypothermia and fell into a permanent sleep that night.
Those lucky enough to be awakened by the cold frantically bought up warm clothing supplies in the mall.
After realizing something was wrong, Xiao A immediately turned on the heater and started a frantic refueling mode to make up for the fuel loss.
Not only quilts, but also cotton-padded coats and other similar items were also stocked. After all, there aren't many people selling these items in the mall right now, so it can still raise the price a little. Once everyone starts selling them, the price will have to drop.
Shen Muyu was lucky; he slept soundly until dawn.
Shen Muyu tentatively stretched out a hand and, feeling that the temperature inside the car was normal, she knew that Xiao A must have turned on the heater.
After sitting up, Shen Muyu reached out and lifted the curtain next to him, but the scene outside was truly shocking.
The river that had been spreading upstream was now completely frozen, and grayish-white snowflakes were still falling from the sky, though they must have just started falling, as the ice surface had not yet been covered.
